how about a drone with a mace that hangs from it?
So it can lightly drag it across the top of other bots like it was teabagging them?

Drones are a permanent meme. they need to be lightweight to fly. No HW weapon can fit onto them.

Isn't the gulf in quality between BB and RW bots because BB allows sponsors and thus the builders have more money to spend on the bots?
BB have extra weight as well. It really helps when comparing the 2.

Alright so I got my wisdom teeth out and finally had enough free time to sit down and find the full episode 1. I thought it was rather enjoyable. This Dara guy isn't as crazy as Craig was but then again, Craig was also smoking crack so I don't even know if bring him back would have the same effect without the hard stuff. He gets down in the pits and gives half decent interviews, not really doing anything wrong. Angela seems like an alright fit for Philippa's role. And I gotta say though, no one can replace Philippa, she was excellent. However, the new girl seems to connect well with the builders which was one of the reasons I quite liked Philippa in the old run. It seems like people are saying old JP is a little warn out. Well, I've been trying to listen to that bastard commentate Champions league for the past year and the sound mixing on American coverage is so bad that this sounds just fine. I guess I just don't have any gripes with that. I miss the old count down and cease voice, but it's not really a huge deal.

The fights had like a weird filter on them that made it look like an action movie or something. It felt kind of off. Also the camera shots behind the pit release and in the pit were kinda screwy. I didn't really think they were needed. I don't mind the instant replays either, those were always in the original run and just feels natural at this point. Fights seemed entertaining, at least to me. The format I must agree though, is a bit odd. It really did seem that it wore the competitors down much quicker and by the heat final, they were just kind of limping through the fight. Maybe if there's a season 2 eventually with more entries we can get a more classic format back; that would be quite nice.

The one point that I think new RW has over new BB is that it doesn't take itself too seriously. Sometimes the way BB is presented makes it looks like the builders are like sports celebs. RW at least shows what most of these guys are, couple dudes who throw together a 100kg robot, drive it around for an hour, and have a good time. I'll give them credit for that.

However, I really miss the industrial feel for the old show. The new arena and sounds kind of remind me of like an Apple Store. The pit is just a linoleum floor like, what the hell. The old one had all these danger stripes and smoke and stuff. And the pit release button is just like some Jeep tire, seems kind of strange. New house bots looks good though. Nice not having them be the main decider in a fight. I felt in the old series that it seemed like half the battle was just avoiding the house bots.

I quite enjoyed the new show. Haven't seen episode two yet. I assume there will be a lot of gripes with this first series as nostalgia will alter some views for sure. Still, I'd give it a chance. Let a second series be made so they can maybe adjust some of the things that fans dislike about it. Quite excited for the next episodes.
